Uppsatsen undersöker skillnader mellan att jobba som ljuddesigner på mindre indieprojekt jämfört med större spelproduktioner. Skillnader mellan att jobba som intern ljuddesigner jämfört med som konsult och hur andra utvecklare ser på ljud i spel tas även upp. Metoden som användes var kvalitativa intervjuer och tre intervjuer genomfördes. Analysen av intervjuerna utgår från uppsatsens syfte och frågeställning samt tidigare forskning om ljud i spel och inom organisationssociologi. Studien visar att det finns stora skillnader inom de olika produktionerna. Även inom olika indieprojekt. Kommunikation med resten av teamet och det administrativa arbetet skiljer sig mellan projekten. De större projekten har här en större fördel tack vare mer vana och användandet av en audio director.

1 Abstract: Disqualification of governing body members (and other persons) from their positions in a business corporation As of 1 January 2014 a new act no. 90/2012 Coll., Business Corporations Act, has been effective in the Czech Republic. Among the other new legal instruments, the Act has incorporated a regulation of disqualification of governing body members (and other persons) from their positions in a business corporation. This master thesis aims at determination of particular grounds for the disqualification and impacts of its application. Further, persons who may be disqualified under the pursuant to the particular grounds are defined in the thesis. The aim of the thesis is to find a general rules governing the disqualification and to determine limits of its application. The thesis also defines other persons (positions) which the disqualified person will not be allowed to hold and perform due to the court's decision. The author uses descriptive and analytical methods to interpret the legal regulation, which is joined with comparison of Czech and British legislation as the British legislation was one of the main sources. The Act is interpreted based on grammatical, logical, teleological, systematic, and partially historical interpretation methods. Within the comparison the author focuses on the...

The diploma Thesis stems from the finding that the human behaviour is a combined result of the push from outer environment and the human personality. The theoretical part of the study is based on the scientific literature, on documents dealing with the social standing of a school director in the society, and on the research studies dealing with the director's personality. It treats the characterisation of the personality, personal typology, properties and motivations. It brings information about the present-day concept of the success. Primarily, the attention is payed to the directors' competency a their roles in the management of the school. The research part of the diploma Thesis deals with the question of personal prerequisites and competencies, as they were found on the basis of quentionairies and data obtained from individual directors, who perform their leading role in the real environment of schools, and from the founders of these schools located on the territory of the capital of Prague. The main result of the Thesis is a summary of prerequisites needed to a successful school management from the point of view of the director's personality. It stems from the finding of what the directors themselves rate as the fruitfulness in the area of professional school management as well as from the...

The thesis deals with self-management of head teachers and its application in the present which is characterized by an environment of never-ending changes which place considerable demands on the overall preparedness of school management to face these demands. This theses has been completed using search of available literature and free Internet resources related to this issue. The theoretical part explains the basic concepts related to the topic. The personality and skills of managers are also described there. Based on the analysis and comparison of scientific literature I describe the techniques and procedures recommended by the authors who deal with this issue. With the help of a survey in the form of half-structured interviews with managers of education in different types of schools in a district town I try to find out what self-management techniques covering the biological, psychological and social areas are practised by head teachers in order to maintain and develop relevant skills. In conclusion, based on the acquired data I suggest a process of self-management of head teachers. Recommended methods and procedures can be used as a strategic tool for maintaining and developing their competencies necessary to carry out their profession in a quality way.

La littérature financière n’offre pas de vision explicite sur le rôle de l’administrateur indépendant et sa contribution à la création de valeur. C’est pourquoi nous avons cherché à mieux comprendre l’importance de ce membre externe en nous appuyant sur une nouvelle approche synthètique de la gouvernance. Dans l’objectif d’obtenir des réponses plus concluantes, nous avons élaboré un modèle explicatif qui mobilise deux courants : le courant juridico-financier et le courant cognitif. L’étude empirique a été menée sur les administrateurs indépendants des sociétés cotées françaises. La partie descriptive examine les caractéristiques des administrateurs indépendants entre 2008 et 2011. Les tests du modèle montrent que les contributions supposées importantes des administrateurs indépendants en termes cognitifs ne sont pas majoritairement favorables pour la création de valeur. Leur contribution disciplinaire s’avère plus importante, ce que démontre théoriquement le courant juridico-financier. Une typologie des administrateurs indépendants est dressée au cours de cette étude. Les tests confirment l’existence d’une vision classique d’un conseil d’administration français au niveau de la sélection et de la nomination des administrateurs indépendants, qui se rapprochent des caractéristiques des dirigeants français. / Financial literature is far away from offering convincing answers about the contribution of independent director in the value creation. This is why we sought to get a better understanding of this role using the approach of synthetic governance. In order to shed more light on the question, we develop explanatory model. The model uses two approaches: the disciplinary view and the knowledge-based view. An empirical study of the independent director of French listed companies was carried out. We first present the characteristics of profile the independents directors between 2008 and 2011. Empirical tests indicate that the cognitive contribution did not result a value creation. Moreover statistical modeling confirms the existence of disciplinary contributions of the independent director and shows mostly positive effects on value creation. The same argument also confirm by the disciplinary perspectives of governance. A typology profile of independent director shows the existence of classical vision of the board directors in French listed. The selection and the appointement of independent director reconciled of the profile’s executive.

Cette thèse porte sur la relation qu'un président, bénévole et un directeur, salarié, d'une MJC, mais aussi d'autres associations d'éducation populaire, peuvent entretenir dans le cadre de la gouvernance qu'ils exercent ensemble. Des entretiens avec 62 présidents et directeurs mais aussi d'autres salariés de fédérations de MJC ainsi que trois historiens ou sociologues ont permis de confirmer certains postulats théoriques quant à la complexité de la relation entre un président et un directeur d'association, parfois conflictuelle, mais aussi de révéler la diversité de formes que cette relation peut revêtir, tout comme la diversité des acteurs, quant à leur rapport au pouvoir mais aussi à leur militantisme. Cette thèse a en outre mis en avant un point commun à l'ensemble de ces acteurs associatifs : un sentiment d'appartenance à un réseau et plus largement à un courant de pensée, l'éducation populaire. / This thesis deals with the relationship that a volunteer president and a managing director, employee, of a MJC, but also other popular education non-profit organizations, can maintain within the governance they exercice together. Interviews with 62 presidents and managing directors, but also other employees of MJC and three historians or sociologists confirmed some of the basic premises about the complexity of the relationship between a president and a managing director of non-profit organization, sometimes conflicting, but showed also the variety of forms this relationship can take on, as the diversity of the actors, about their relation to authority but also to their militancy. Moreover, this thesis has highlighted a common point to the totality of these associative actors : a sense of belonging to a network and more widely to a line of thought, the popular education.

The thesis presents a game theoretic model of two directors on a single market. It introduces a variable film type which attains a value from the interval [0,1], where the boundaries expresses the art and the mainstream film, respectively. Each director has opposite preferences over a film type and chooses which type of film to shoot. The director's decision influences the profit function of the other director. The objective of each director is to maximize his profit function. The profit function is the difference of the quadratic audience function and of the cost function. The cost function is the sum of quadratic production cost function and linear disutility cost function which expresses the director's unmeasurable cost issued from the deviation from his most preferred film type. The model therefore includes both the economic and the artistic incentives which influence the directors' decision. We prove that for each pair of profit functions, there exists at least one pure strategy Nash equilibrium. The discussion of possible outcomes is illustrated by an empirical application.

Será analisado de como foi elaborado o texto a partir da observação e a pesquisa sobre roteiros de cinema e notícias do cotidiano de uma periferia, onde a desconstrução narrativa do enredo serviu como base. Também será analisado o processo de montagem do texto sob o ponto de vista de uma dramaturga-encenadora na sua relação com o ator, através dos workshops de criação, depoimentos pessoais, noções do teatro-dança e partituras de ações físicas. Pretendo com esse registro refletir sobre uma experimentação que serviu para compreensão dos procedimentos de uma montagem cênica, que teve como base tendências contemporâneas da linguagem, como a fragmentação e a descontinuidade. / Abstract: This dissertation ains on retrieving the writing and staging process of 'Cantos Periféricos' staged by Santo André group 'Teatro da Conspiração' between 2002 and 2004. It will analyze the text elaboration from observation and researching of movie scripts and news from everyday life at poor suburbs, where the narrative deconstruction of the plot served as base. It will also analyze the text elaboration process from the point of view of a playwright-theater director in her relation with the actor, by means of creation workshops, personal accounts, dance-theater basic knowledge and body action partituras. With this record, I intend to reveal the experimentation that served to the comprehension of scenic staging procedures and that was based on contemporary tendencies of language, as fragmentation and discontinuity. / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

The beginning of the 21st century was plagued with unprecedented instances of corporate fraud. In an attempt to address apparent non-existent or “broken” corporate governance policies, sweeping measures of financial reporting reform ensued, having specific requirements relating to the composition of audit committees, the interaction between audit committees and external auditors, and procedures concerning auditors’ assessment of client risk. The purpose of my dissertation is to advance knowledge about “good” corporate governance by examining the association between meeting-or-beating analyst forecasts and audit fees, audit committee compensation, and audit committee tenure and “busyness”. Using regression analysis, I found the following: 1) the frequency of meeting-or-just beating (just missing) analyst forecasts is negatively (positively) associated with audit fees, 2) the extent by which a firm exceeds analysts’ forecasts is positively (negatively) associated with audit committee compensation that is predominately equity-based (cash-based), and 3) the likelihood of repeatedly meeting-or-just beating analyst forecasts is positively associated with audit committee tenure and “busyness”. These results suggest that auditors consider clients who frequently meet-or-just beat forecasts as being less “risky”, and clients that frequently just miss as being more “risky”. The results also imply that cash-based director compensation is more successful in preserving the effectiveness of the audit committee’s financial reporting oversight role, that equity-based compensation motivates independent audit committee directors to focus on short-term performance thereby aligning their interests with management, and that audit committee director tenure and the degree of director “busyness” can affect an audit committee member’s effectiveness in providing financial reporting oversight. Collectively, my dissertation provides additional insights regarding corporate governance practices and informs policy-makers for future relevant decisions.
